Dear SJND Community,
Last week, Saint Joseph Notre Dame High School was rated the
#1 Most Diverse Private High School in San Francisco Bay Area
by Niche.com. This is something to be proud of and celebrated! Not only is our student body culturally and ethnically diverse, our Pilots come from over a dozen different cities throughout the Bay Area to attend our wonderful school. Our student body is made up of students from more than 40 public, charter, independent and Catholic schools.

All parents are strongly encouraged to attend
Back to School Night
this Thursday, August 22, beginning at 6:00 p.m. in the Kelly Gymnasium for parents of 10th through 12th graders, and 6:35 p.m. for 9th grade parents. Please ask your students what homeroom classroom they are in as parents will meet in homeroom classrooms at 6:35 p.m. This event is extremely important as it is an opportunity for you to personally meet all your student’s teachers, learn their expectations and begin building a rapport with them. The evening will conclude at 8:30 p.m., or 8:45 p.m. for those enrolled in zero period.
I look forward to seeing you. Go Pilots!
Ms. Guevara
Interim Principal
